Additional Tribute to Eric Vega

Excellent work by DSA includes a historical piece from Story Corps.


The DSA blog,  Dl, has posted my tribute to Eric Vega and his work as a Chicano leader. Eric was in DSA for a time.

DL also included a story corp interview with Eric and Estella Sanchez.  Quite impressive.

The piece I wrote also includes a link to an archives project of Eric’s work. It is part of the  the Mexican American Education Project ( of which I was once co director), and the Chicano Movement in Sacramento.

This latter project was done by Lorena V. Marquez.  An ex student of mine and my wife.

Professor of Chicana/o History of U.C. Davis.  Author of the book, La Genre: Struggles for Empowerment and Community Self Determination in Sacramento. (2020) by the Univ. of Arizona Press.
